Well, do you like it or not? :D
We hope to have a working version before MII comes out.
We now have a musician with us on the mod. So expect to hear some samples in the not too distant future!
Thats good then, sounds good :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2:
Like the map too
~:D
I like your signiature by the way.
WIP model pictures very, very soon... Music samples too :D
Can't wait!
Hi there everyone,
The mod has recieved a lot of interest from musicians, and here, for the first time, is a sample of it by our second musician applicant, Degrade: http://www.suntearstudio.com/tim/app...miren_wars.mp3
There is more good news though. Our modellers, T1ckL35 and usmarine22 have completed WIPs of several models for us!
Here is the Ilsamir Warrior Priest:

And here is the Mechathenain Lord's Man:

That's all for now. Expect to see more and more as we get into gear a little more fully.
See ya later,
Ilsamir Lord
Love that concept art kataphraktoi! Really nice stuff. :bow:
We can expect some more in a while too :D
The team have got together quite a few models to show off, but I'll hold back for a little while longer to get a more sizeable preview up. Stay tuned. And remember to visit the forums if you want to make suggestions or get involved in any way. I've recently posted stuff on the story of one of the main characters for the Oblivion mod which people may find interesting.
WOW, excellent model, good work!
Thanks al'Callaendor! I should have more to show you from our great modellers soon.
Things have slowed down a bit at the moment, which is unfortunate, so I am still looking for anyone willing to work on skinning, concept art and even colourising of previously completed concepts.
I've also posted this at the Mod Discussion forum:
Hi everyone,
It may sound like a strange request, but our mod, the Ilsamiren Wars, is in need of someone to colourise our currently completed concept art.
This could be kind of a fun job I think, as you already have a design to work from, you just need to have some sense of colour co-ordination.
The winner will see their work in the mods for Medieval II and the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, as well as in early demos of the mod for Rome: Total War. They will also be credited in the mod under an appropriate title of their choosing.
Here are the pictures which need colourising:
Note: I have some basic colour ideas, but nothing definite. If you can come up with nice combinations I'll certainly consider them.
Here are the first and second pictures (or rather two pictures in one). An Ilsamir Warrior Priest (left) and a Northern Kingdom Warrior Priest (right). The Ilsamir colour scheme at the moment is basically very dark blue and a metallic grey, the NK have dark red and grey (feel free to experiment though!):

Ok, that's two factions. Here is a representative of another. A Mechathenain Lord's Man. The basic Mechathenain colours at present are tan and purple. His armour can be of basically any metal, but it is bound with silk (like samurai armour):

Here is another concept, this time for a chieftan of the Ocean Tribes. Their colours aren't decided on at all really, but their armour is made of wood, reeds, feathers, jade and obsidion. They wear masks too. Nothing too colourful though, as they like to be camouflaged by the jungle (sorry about the lack of precise detail, but that shouldn't matter terribly for a colour study):

Ok, there's what you have to work with for now! I look forward to seeing the results!
Here are some more concepts by NodachiSam! - edit - Links Fixed

We are getting back into gear now after a long period of very little development. I have recently gotten down to writing the story for the Oblivion version and some more on the languages for both versions.
I have also been trying to plan more thoroughly what we will need to do.
See you at the forums!
Ilsamir Lord
Those links, they're dead Jim.
Links fixed.
looking good... i hope this continues i was quite interested in this :thumbsup:
Yes we are planning to continue :) . Or at least I am! I've just finished naming the major features of the map and I'm moving onto the cities and provinces. Check the thread here for more information and for the final map mark-ups as they become available.
Please do not comment on AI problems stemming from the large bodies of water, as we would hope that Medieval II, on which the mod is now based (with its access to the Americas), will solve this problem.
Most of the names will be hard to pronounce for most people, so here is a pronunciation guide. Scroll down to the second post for details on Ilsamiren pronunciation as most of the names are Ilsamiren in origin.
The names of the Northern Kingdom, which is anywhere above the long mountain ranges in the north, are pronounced according to Ilsamiren values. The words Or or Orn mean "the" in Ilsamiren.
A shift in the value of vowels which occured when the Ilsamiri and the followers of the Malice diverged can be seen in the Northern Kingdom (or Low Ilsamiren) use of Ar or Arn to mean "the" in place of the aforementioned Ilsamiren words. The shift is also seen in the word for "river" - Ilsamiren Glemir becomes Low Ilsamiren Glumer. Certain words of the same meaning are, of course, now unrelated, as the thousand year seperation has begun to have its effect.
I'm still in, but Uni has taken my time, I hope to churn up some stuff now that I've finished uni for good. For good I tells ya!!
I'll be glad to see you when you have the time :D .
I've now completed the province names and I'm even trying my hand at some modelling. Check the forums for the complete annotated map! In the meantime here is the latest iteration of it:
In this case the province capitals are numbered (the corresponding names can be seen at the forums. The white text refers to the owners of the various territories. The Ilsamiri are in dark blue, the Northern Kingdom in red etc. Also at the forums is our geographical feature map which shows 30 or so named land forms.
This brings me to my next point - we need a mapper! Some time ago a certain person said they would do some mapping for us, but that never happened. Ideally anyone who was to apply would be prepared to work on height maps for Medieval II and Oblivion (as both work off a 2d heightmap as far as we know. I'd also appreciate it if anyone who applied could give advice on topography and scale. It'd also be nice if they were prepared to make it quite detailed, to make the mod as realistic as possible is the aim.
Thank for reading,
Ilsamir Lord
Where is everyone? I thought that this at least would be comment worthy. Not to be desperate or anything but I'd love some feedback ~:) !
I recently finished some faction specific signiature banners! Some of them are a little rough, but they are functional I think and they serve to present the latest iterations of the faction icons. Here they are.
Firstly, the Ilsamiren Wars banner - this simply states the name of the mod and I guess is the default banner.

Next is the banner for the Ilsamiri:

u didn't add me as part of the team...I'm not part of the ghetto??
I didn't? Sorry about that Kat :P
I've updated the concepts thread over at our forums: http://z14.invisionfree.com/The_Ilsa...p?showtopic=60 . It now contains 37 images. I'll be adding all new work there as it is done. That thread will also act as a check-list for modelling.
Greetings everyone,
This is a news post I made at the ModDb and on various other forums. Please ignore the model, as it is for Oblivion, not MII. The concepts are for both. This post also acts as a bridge to the other thread I have established in the MII modding section. This is to be the last post in this thread, and I'd appreciate it if people referred their posts here.
I apologise for missing last week's update, but I have a lot to show you this week to make up for it! Firstly we have a new concept to model render. On the left is the original drawing (by Kataphraktoi), from which the helmet has been modelled (on the right).
https://img82.imageshack.us/img82/58...ntrymm5.th.jpghttps://img417.imageshack.us/img417/...ttedep9.th.jpg
Next we have two more concept drawings, also be Kataphraktoi (click on the thumbnails for details):
https://img49.imageshack.us/img49/87...coutto6.th.jpghttps://img99.imageshack.us/img99/76...ightof1.th.jpg
It is worth noting that all the concept art presented here will be used for both the Oblivion and Medieval II versions of the mod. A complete list of concepts, containing 37 images and short notes on each image, can be viewed at our forums. That's all for this week!
Thanks for reading!
Hope ends up good and not in a failer, as some mods do.. Good luck guys!
Thank you Anarion, and please feel free to check the MII thread (in the MII modding section) for the latest historical details.
